elements consistln~ o~ sel~-lubricating material. The self--lubricating material proposed for this construction was graphite-bronze being press~seated within the frame. A
construction utilizing graphite-bronze was - last not least -selected because ob~iously no type of sliding inserts wasfound which ha~e suff'icient stability and - in spite thereof -can rapidly and in a simple manner be replaced without the use of expensive tools or equipment.
SUMM~R~ O~ TH~ ~NVENTION
The invention now aims at providing a sliding chair and, reSpectively, a sliding plate or ribbed plate of the initially mentioned type, which is equipped with ~riction-reducing sliding members o~ synthetic plastics material and which simultaneously allows to reliably mount in position the sliding members thereby pro~iding a simple possibility to replace damaged slidin~ members. For solving this task, the construction according to the in~ention consists, in principle, in that at least two slidin~ ~e~bexs are accommodated in each receSs, the side surfaces of the sliding ~e~bers being - for the major part af the cixcumfexence of the sliding members - engaged over or, respecti~ely, behind by inwardly protruding walls or, respectivelyr profiles o~ the edge of the recess. On account of at least two slidln~ ~embers hein~ accommodated within each receS~ and being engaged o~er or, respectively, en~aged behind at thei~ s~de Sllr~aces over the major part of the circumference of the sliding ~embers by inwardl~ pxotruding walls or, respecti~ely, b~ profiles of the edge o~ the Xecess, .
:. ~
there is provided, on the one hand, a reliable seat of the sliding members on account of the inwardly protruding walls or, respectively, profiles and there is provided, on the other hand,.the ~ossibility to i~ter¢hanqe.the sli~ing members in a sim~le manner.
For this purpose, it is sufficient to lift and extract one of both sliding m~m~ers accommodated within the same recess, whereupon the other sliding member can by lateral shifting movement be equally shifted out of that area in which it is engaged over or engaged behind, respectively, by the inwardly protruding walls or pxofiles. It is thus sufficient to design a small portion of the circumference of the recess such that it does not engage over the side surfaces of the sliding members and thus provides the possibility to extract said both parts via that area in which the side surfaces are not engaged and on account of the side surfaces being engaged over or behind, respectively, by the walls of the recess over the major part of the circumference of the sliding members, a reliable locking effect is obtained in the inserted con-dition without additional measures, in particular without a separate auxiliary framec On accaunt of arranging the sliding members within the sliding chair, the sliding plate or the ribbed plate without interpositioning an auxiliary frame, there is obtained a small constructional height which is of particular ad~anta~e when using~ ~or example, a space-saving inner bracing o~ stock rails.
~ n this case ~nd in a particularly advantageous manner, the arrangement is such tha~ the recesses are o~ elon~ated D'7~
shape and that the separating gap between the sliding members introduced into the recess is arranged in transverse relation to the longer axis of the recess. On account of the recess having elon~ated shape, both sliding members to be driven into the recess can in a simple manner be forced into the recess in direction of its longitudinal axis, so that a great area of the circum~erence is reliably engaged over or, respectively, engaged behind by inwardl~ protruding walls or, respectivel~, profiles of the edge of the recess, noting that only a relatively short area need be designed as an unoccupied area allowing to lift and e~tract both sliding members.
The inoccupied area required for the lifting movement and extracting movement, respectively, can in a si.mple manner be obtained i~ the recess has an area comprising substantially vertical walls and having a width corres~onding`to the maximum width of the sliding members as measured in transverse relation to the direction o~ introducing the sliding membexs.
Sliding membexs havlng a do~e tail croSs section or a trapezoidal c~osS sectian can easily be intxoduced within the area of the essent.~all~ .~ertical walls~ noting that driving the members into the ~ea comprising the inwardl~ protruding walls or, res.pectivel~, pxo~iles c~n be ach~eved by means o~
some ~ew strokes in l~ngitudinal direction o~ the recess.
On account of the elas~ic~ty o~ the ~riction-reducing sliding members consistin~ o~ s~nthetic. plastics material~ the me~bers are, during the dri~ng~in o~eration~ si~ultaneously stron~ly prestressed ln direction to the bottom o~ the recess~ So that ' .
:, ~
7~
there is simultaneously obtained a reliable anchoring effect.
On account of both sliding members being forcibily introduced one after the otherl the second ~orcibly introduced sliding membex snaps in the ~inally stage and undex elastic prestress in direction to the bottom of the recess, so that there is reliably obtained a locking action against outward shifting movemen~ or stepping out of the sliding members.
A particularly simple arxangement results i~ the sliding members have a substantially trapezoidal croSs section and if the base angle o~ the legs of the trapeze corresponds to the base angle of the obli~uely extending and upwardly inwardly extending walls of the recess. Base angles of the legs o~ the trapeze, as measured ~rom the bottom of the recess~ have proved as particularly valuable if they are in the magnitude ~S of approximately 60, and such angles make sure that no con-siderable resistance is encountered when forcibly introducing the sliding me~bers and make also sure that the sliding members are reliably fixed in position within the recess.
After ha~ing forcibly introduced both siiding members, there remainS~ o~ course, between bo~h sliding members a separating gap which advantageously extends in transverse relation to the longer axiS o~ the recess ~or ~he purpose of pro~iding a good supporting ~orce against lateral outwa~d shi~tin~ mo.vement. The mutually oppoSing ~ont sur~aces o~
the slidin~ members at the area o~ the Separating gap thus ~or~ a xeliably support and counte~act in a reliable manner any unintended loosening o~ the sliding ~ember~ For reliabl~
, .
7~
preventing any upward mo~ement o~ the sliding members, the arran~ement is, in this case, preferably such that the separating gap between the sliding members within a recess is arranged within the area of the recess having substantially vertical walls or in proximity o this area. The distance of the separating gap from the unoccupied area as de~ined by the vertical walls must, of course, be selec.ted so small that the axial compression of the ~riction-reducin~ slidin~
members of synthetic plastics m~terial when forcibly introducing same with a corresponding tool, for exa~ple a hammer, is suf~icient to again el~stically expand the slidin~ member forcibly introduced as the second part - after having passed the unoccupiéd position - to such an extent that its ~ront sur~ace extends into an a~ea in which this second sliding 15 . mem.ber is already a~ain en~a~ed o~er by inwardly protrudin~
walls. In this manner~ th.ere iS obtained a particularl~ hi~h degree of sa~ety duxing the loçkin~ operation.
For the ~urpose o~ pxo~idiln~ the possibility to Xemove any contaminations ina~oidable in operation and,thus for the purpose of counter~cting any premature wear of the slidin~
elements~ the ~rxan~ement is a,dva,nta~eous.l~ suçh that the slidin~ members ha~e on .their sur~aice ~roQ.~eS e~tendin~ in lon~itudinal directi~n o~.the xeçesS or including an acute an~le with the longitud~na,l dlrection. B~ ar~anyin~ these ~rooves under a,n ~cute an~le to the lon~itudinal direction o~ the recess there results lateral strippin~ o~ deposited dirt p~rticles, i~ ~n~ ~o th~t.the sliding ~iction-reducing 8~
sur~ace is only little subjected to abrasion even in case of strong contamination. This ad~antaye is obtained in particular i~ the longitudinal axis of the recesses is oriented in shiftlng direction of the shi~table switch part, noting that in these cases - in particular on account of the separat-ing gap extending in essentially transverse relation and in an advantageous manner in essentially orthogonal relation to the longitudinal axi~ o~ the recess - shifting forces, if any, introduced into the slidin~ elements are ef~ectively supported within the area of the supporting gap without having as an ef~ect an upward ~o~ement of the sliding members.
A particularly hi~h de~ree of reduction of the friction and simultaneously a mini~um wear can be obtained if in each sliding chair and, respectively, in each sliding plate or ribbed plate there are pro~ided two recesses which are parallely arranged one relative to the other.
It is in particular ~hen using an inner bracing of stock rails that ~ small constxuctianal height must be intended~
When ~ixiny rails or s~itch parts in posit~on in such a manner, the ralls or sWitch parts are, aS a rule, braced by usin~
cotters ~ia leaf sprin~ elements, noting that the slidin~
chairs comprise correspondin~ xecesses for the cotteXS. If a thicker desi~n of the slidin~ chair plates beco~es necessaxy ~or reli~bl~ positioning the cotters, and this for accommodating the sliding members in the recesses en~a~ing over the sliding membexs, the arrange~ent is, for compensating this increa~ed constructlonal height, advanta~eously selected !
20.~9~7~
such that, for the purpose of reducing the constructional height in view of utilizing for positioning rails or switch parts lea~ spxing elements which can be braced by cotters, the ribbed plate or base plate below the sliding chair is stepped down to a smaller plate thickness. As a whole, thus there can be obtained a reduction of the total constructional height in spite o~ the sliding members outwardly protruding for a small amount as compared with known constructions.

DETAILED DESCR~TION 0~ TH~ PREFERRED EMBODIMEN~S
In the embodiments according to Figures 1 to 3, there is mounted on a ribbed plate 1 a sliding chair 2, noting that there are arranged in two elongated recesses 3 of the sliding chair two self-lubricating, maintainance-free sliding members 4 and 5 of s~nthetic plastics ~aterial~ The recesses 3 have o~er a restricted a~ea an unoccupied portion 6 comprisin~
essentially ~ertical walls, ~hile the rece~ses 3 ha~e ovex the remaining circu~erençe inwa~dly protruding walls 7 Which en~age the side sur~ceS~8 o~ the slidin~ members 4 and 5 : o~er the major part of their circumference. In this case, the sliding members 4 and.5 ha~e a substantiall~ trapezoidal cross section aS is cleaxly shown in Figuxe 3~ noting that the angle between the base~ i.e~ the bottom surf~ce of the slidin~ members restin~ on the bottom o~ the receSs 3 and the inwardl~ extendin~ le~s, which for~ the side su~aces~
.
- %O~ 7~
essentially corresponds to the walls 7 o~ the recesses 3 which inwardly protrude in upward direction. This angle is designated by ~ in Figure 3 and is approximately 60 if the sliding members shall be driven in position in a simple manner and shall be reliably anchored within the recesses 3.
The maintainance-free, self-lubricating sliding members 4, 5 of synthetic plastics material are, in the embodiment shown, of di~erent len~th, noting that the length of the individual sliding members 4 , 5 is, considering the location of the unoccupied position 6, selected such that both sliding members 4 and 5 are, after having been driven into the recesses 3 and having been anchored therein, maintained in their position without additional fastening elements. For this purpose, the separating gap 10 between the individual sliding members 4 and 5, which separating gap extends in essentially transverse relation to the longitudinal direction 9 of the recess 3, is located immediately adjacent that end of the unoccupied position 6 which is designated by 1~, said ~: unoccupied position comprising the essentially verticallY
extendin~ walls. During assembling, the shorter sliding member designated by 5 is first inserted into the recesses, whereupon the longer sliding member 4 is introduced via the unoccupied position 6, said longer slidin~ member having a ~ low axial co~pxessibilit~ allowi~g, when dri~ing in the : 25 sliding.me~ber, enterin~ o~ the end 12 o~ the longer sliding ; members and facin~ the separatin~ ~p 10 into the area of the unoccupied position 6 and allowing this end 12, after a ~ -~o~
corresponding expansion in the inserted position, to become engaged over along a short area located in proximity of the end 11 o~ the unoccupied position 6 for the purpose of preventing a rising mo~ement.
The sliding portions 4 and S, respectively, extend intheir mounte.d ~osition.;ove~ the surface 13 of the sliding chair for a small amount being designated b~ h in ~igures 1 and 3.
Furthermore, grooves or splines 14 are provided in the upper side of the sliding members, said splines or grooves extend~
ing in the embodiment shown under an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis 9 o~ the sliding members 4, 5 and, respectively, the recess 3 and ser~ing the purpose of removing dirt particles from the surface 15 of the slidin~
members 4 and 5. The sur~ace is thus protected against abradin~ influences.
In the embodiment according to the Figures 4 and 5, a sliding chaix 2 is agajin ~ounted on a ribbed plate ~, noting th.~t slidin~ menbers 4.~nd 5 of s~nthetic plastics ~aterial are again rece~ed ~thin elon~ated ~ecesses 3 o~ the slidin~
ch~ir, The slid-n~ ~e~bers are a~g~in ~aintained in positiQn yia the major nortiOn of th eir circum~e~.ence by inwardly p~otruding lateral edges ~X borders~ respecti.vel~, of the recesses 3 ,as is shown in ~i~uXe 3'~n an enl~x.~ed scale, po~ the pur,~se o,~
vbtaining a paxticularl~ S~ll conStructional hei~ht~ a stepped poxtion ~7 is p~o~ided ~n .the ~ase plate ~6 of the ribbed plate in the e.~bod~ent ~ccoxd~n~ to.the ~i~ureS 4 and 5s whereby~ as a wh:o.le, a low .constructional height is obtained~
-., ~
2n~L~7~
whereby, in particular, the use of an inner stock rail bracina becomes possible by using extremely low sliding chairs By the stepped portion 17 there is at least compensated an optionally re~uired increase oE the thickness of the cover plate o~ the sliding chair for reliably receiving the sliding members 4, 5 as well as the cotter 20 for ~ixing purposes, On account of the direct arrangement of the sliding members 4, 5 within recesses 3 of the sliding chair and on ~ccount of securing in position the sliding members by inwardly extending wall portions and profiles, respectively, engaging over or, respectively, engaging behind the sliding members, there results, as a whole, a very low constructional height, so that, as already mentioned, a laterally inward ~5 elastic mounting of the stock rail becomes possible, noting that two different possibilities are shown in the Figures 1 to 3 and, respectively, in the Figures 4 and 5.
In the Figures 6 and 7 there is designated by 18 a sliding plate, noting that there are held in position within elongated recesses 3 sliding members 4 and 5 by means of inwardly extending lateral walls of ~he recesses. The sliding plate 18 is, in this case, provided with ribs 19, noting that also sliding plates without such stop members can be used in a similar manner.
In Figures 8 and 9 there is shown a modified embodiment of a sliding plate 18 which can be utilized in particular for frog constructions comprising movable constructional parts.
~o~
The frogs can be ~rogs comprising movable wing rails or Erogs compr;sing a movable frog tip, noting that the movable parts rest on the sliding members 4 and 5 with the use of a sliding cElair or without using a sliding chair.
The design of the side surfaces of the sliding members 4 and, respectively, 5 having a substantiallY trapezoidal cross section as well as the design of the inwardly extending side walls 7 of the recesses 3 is in all embodiments shown substantiaily analogous to the design shown in Figure 3.
For the purpose of removing the sliding members ~ and 5 from the recesses 3, there IS applied at the separating gap 10 a suitable tool and at first upwardly lifted by lever action the sliding member extending beyond the unoccupied position 6, which is then extracted, whereupon the second sliding member 5 can in a simple manner equally be removed from the recess.
Thus, there results the possibility to rapidly interchange the sliding members by means of extremely simple tools because forcibly introducing the sliding members can, for example, be effected by means of a hammer.
Particularly good sliding properties result by arranging two mutually parallel recesses within a ribbed plate or a sliding chair and, respectively, a sliding plate, noting that the longitudinal axis of the elongated recesses 3 extends, as a rule, in shifting direction of the shiftable switch component or crossing component, respectively.
The trapezoidal shape of the cross section of the sliding members shown in the Figures as well as the side walls of the 74~
recesses 3 extending in inward direction under a corresponding angle represents a very simple shape of the cxoss section which is particularly favourable for introducing and for extracting, respectively, the sliding members. In principle there can, however, also be provided other forms of the side walls of the recesses and thus for the side surfaces of the sliding members~which forms allow to reliably anchor the sliding members within the recesses by means of suitable profiles.
On account of the small height of the recesses 3 and on account o~ the direct insertion of the sliding members~ and 5, there can be provided such sliding members in all usual ribbed plates e~uin~ed with sliding chairs or in sliding plates or slidina sheets~iithout increasing in practice the total constructional height.

~ n this case ~nd in a particularly advantageous manner, the arrangement is such tha~ the recesses are o~ elon~ated D'7~
shape and that the separating gap between the sliding members introduced into the recess is arranged in transverse relation to the longer axis of the recess. On account of the recess having elon~ated shape, both sliding members to be driven into the recess can in a simple manner be forced into the recess in direction of its longitudinal axis, so that a great area of the circum~erence is reliably engaged over or, respectively, engaged behind by inwardl~ protruding walls or, respectivel~, profiles of the edge of the recess, noting that only a relatively short area need be designed as an unoccupied area allowing to lift and e~tract both sliding members.
The inoccupied area required for the lifting movement and extracting movement, respectively, can in a si.mple manner be obtained i~ the recess has an area comprising substantially vertical walls and having a width corres~onding`to the maximum width of the sliding members as measured in transverse relation to the direction o~ introducing the sliding membexs.
Sliding membexs havlng a do~e tail croSs section or a trapezoidal c~osS sectian can easily be intxoduced within the area of the essent.~all~ .~ertical walls~ noting that driving the members into the ~ea comprising the inwardl~ protruding walls or, res.pectivel~, pxo~iles c~n be ach~eved by means o~
some ~ew strokes in l~ngitudinal direction o~ the recess.
On account of the elas~ic~ty o~ the ~riction-reducing sliding members consistin~ o~ s~nthetic. plastics material~ the me~bers are, during the dri~ng~in o~eration~ si~ultaneously stron~ly prestressed ln direction to the bottom o~ the recess~ So that ' .
:, ~
7~
there is simultaneously obtained a reliable anchoring effect.
On account of both sliding members being forcibily introduced one after the otherl the second ~orcibly introduced sliding membex snaps in the ~inally stage and undex elastic prestress in direction to the bottom of the recess, so that there is reliably obtained a locking action against outward shifting movemen~ or stepping out of the sliding members.
A particularly simple arxangement results i~ the sliding members have a substantially trapezoidal croSs section and if the base angle o~ the legs of the trapeze corresponds to the base angle of the obli~uely extending and upwardly inwardly extending walls of the recess. Base angles of the legs o~ the trapeze, as measured ~rom the bottom of the recess~ have proved as particularly valuable if they are in the magnitude ~S of approximately 60, and such angles make sure that no con-siderable resistance is encountered when forcibly introducing the sliding me~bers and make also sure that the sliding members are reliably fixed in position within the recess.
After ha~ing forcibly introduced both siiding members, there remainS~ o~ course, between bo~h sliding members a separating gap which advantageously extends in transverse relation to the longer axiS o~ the recess ~or ~he purpose of pro~iding a good supporting ~orce against lateral outwa~d shi~tin~ mo.vement. The mutually oppoSing ~ont sur~aces o~
the slidin~ members at the area o~ the Separating gap thus ~or~ a xeliably support and counte~act in a reliable manner any unintended loosening o~ the sliding ~ember~ For reliabl~
, .
7~
preventing any upward mo~ement o~ the sliding members, the arran~ement is, in this case, preferably such that the separating gap between the sliding members within a recess is arranged within the area of the recess having substantially vertical walls or in proximity o this area. The distance of the separating gap from the unoccupied area as de~ined by the vertical walls must, of course, be selec.ted so small that the axial compression of the ~riction-reducin~ slidin~
members of synthetic plastics m~terial when forcibly introducing same with a corresponding tool, for exa~ple a hammer, is suf~icient to again el~stically expand the slidin~ member forcibly introduced as the second part - after having passed the unoccupiéd position - to such an extent that its ~ront sur~ace extends into an a~ea in which this second sliding 15 . mem.ber is already a~ain en~a~ed o~er by inwardly protrudin~
walls. In this manner~ th.ere iS obtained a particularl~ hi~h degree of sa~ety duxing the loçkin~ operation.
For the ~urpose o~ pxo~idiln~ the possibility to Xemove any contaminations ina~oidable in operation and,thus for the purpose of counter~cting any premature wear of the slidin~
elements~ the ~rxan~ement is a,dva,nta~eous.l~ suçh that the slidin~ members ha~e on .their sur~aice ~roQ.~eS e~tendin~ in lon~itudinal directi~n o~.the xeçesS or including an acute an~le with the longitud~na,l dlrection. B~ ar~anyin~ these ~rooves under a,n ~cute an~le to the lon~itudinal direction o~ the recess there results lateral strippin~ o~ deposited dirt p~rticles, i~ ~n~ ~o th~t.the sliding ~iction-reducing 8~
sur~ace is only little subjected to abrasion even in case of strong contamination. This ad~antaye is obtained in particular i~ the longitudinal axis of the recesses is oriented in shiftlng direction of the shi~table switch part, noting that in these cases - in particular on account of the separat-ing gap extending in essentially transverse relation and in an advantageous manner in essentially orthogonal relation to the longitudinal axi~ o~ the recess - shifting forces, if any, introduced into the slidin~ elements are ef~ectively supported within the area of the supporting gap without having as an ef~ect an upward ~o~ement of the sliding members.
A particularly hi~h de~ree of reduction of the friction and simultaneously a mini~um wear can be obtained if in each sliding chair and, respectively, in each sliding plate or ribbed plate there are pro~ided two recesses which are parallely arranged one relative to the other.
It is in particular ~hen using an inner bracing of stock rails that ~ small constxuctianal height must be intended~
When ~ixiny rails or s~itch parts in posit~on in such a manner, the ralls or sWitch parts are, aS a rule, braced by usin~
cotters ~ia leaf sprin~ elements, noting that the slidin~
chairs comprise correspondin~ xecesses for the cotteXS. If a thicker desi~n of the slidin~ chair plates beco~es necessaxy ~or reli~bl~ positioning the cotters, and this for accommodating the sliding members in the recesses en~a~ing over the sliding membexs, the arrange~ent is, for compensating this increa~ed constructlonal height, advanta~eously selected !
20.~9~7~
such that, for the purpose of reducing the constructional height in view of utilizing for positioning rails or switch parts lea~ spxing elements which can be braced by cotters, the ribbed plate or base plate below the sliding chair is stepped down to a smaller plate thickness. As a whole, thus there can be obtained a reduction of the total constructional height in spite o~ the sliding members outwardly protruding for a small amount as compared with known constructions.

DETAILED DESCR~TION 0~ TH~ PREFERRED EMBODIMEN~S
In the embodiments according to Figures 1 to 3, there is mounted on a ribbed plate 1 a sliding chair 2, noting that there are arranged in two elongated recesses 3 of the sliding chair two self-lubricating, maintainance-free sliding members 4 and 5 of s~nthetic plastics ~aterial~ The recesses 3 have o~er a restricted a~ea an unoccupied portion 6 comprisin~
essentially ~ertical walls, ~hile the rece~ses 3 ha~e ovex the remaining circu~erençe inwa~dly protruding walls 7 Which en~age the side sur~ceS~8 o~ the slidin~ members 4 and 5 : o~er the major part of their circumference. In this case, the sliding members 4 and.5 ha~e a substantiall~ trapezoidal cross section aS is cleaxly shown in Figuxe 3~ noting that the angle between the base~ i.e~ the bottom surf~ce of the slidin~ members restin~ on the bottom o~ the receSs 3 and the inwardl~ extendin~ le~s, which for~ the side su~aces~
.
- %O~ 7~
essentially corresponds to the walls 7 o~ the recesses 3 which inwardly protrude in upward direction. This angle is designated by ~ in Figure 3 and is approximately 60 if the sliding members shall be driven in position in a simple manner and shall be reliably anchored within the recesses 3.
The maintainance-free, self-lubricating sliding members 4, 5 of synthetic plastics material are, in the embodiment shown, of di~erent len~th, noting that the length of the individual sliding members 4 , 5 is, considering the location of the unoccupied position 6, selected such that both sliding members 4 and 5 are, after having been driven into the recesses 3 and having been anchored therein, maintained in their position without additional fastening elements. For this purpose, the separating gap 10 between the individual sliding members 4 and 5, which separating gap extends in essentially transverse relation to the longitudinal direction 9 of the recess 3, is located immediately adjacent that end of the unoccupied position 6 which is designated by 1~, said ~: unoccupied position comprising the essentially verticallY
extendin~ walls. During assembling, the shorter sliding member designated by 5 is first inserted into the recesses, whereupon the longer sliding member 4 is introduced via the unoccupied position 6, said longer slidin~ member having a ~ low axial co~pxessibilit~ allowi~g, when dri~ing in the : 25 sliding.me~ber, enterin~ o~ the end 12 o~ the longer sliding ; members and facin~ the separatin~ ~p 10 into the area of the unoccupied position 6 and allowing this end 12, after a ~ -~o~
corresponding expansion in the inserted position, to become engaged over along a short area located in proximity of the end 11 o~ the unoccupied position 6 for the purpose of preventing a rising mo~ement.
The sliding portions 4 and S, respectively, extend intheir mounte.d ~osition.;ove~ the surface 13 of the sliding chair for a small amount being designated b~ h in ~igures 1 and 3.
Furthermore, grooves or splines 14 are provided in the upper side of the sliding members, said splines or grooves extend~
ing in the embodiment shown under an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis 9 o~ the sliding members 4, 5 and, respectively, the recess 3 and ser~ing the purpose of removing dirt particles from the surface 15 of the slidin~
members 4 and 5. The sur~ace is thus protected against abradin~ influences.
In the embodiment according to the Figures 4 and 5, a sliding chaix 2 is agajin ~ounted on a ribbed plate ~, noting th.~t slidin~ menbers 4.~nd 5 of s~nthetic plastics ~aterial are again rece~ed ~thin elon~ated ~ecesses 3 o~ the slidin~
ch~ir, The slid-n~ ~e~bers are a~g~in ~aintained in positiQn yia the major nortiOn of th eir circum~e~.ence by inwardly p~otruding lateral edges ~X borders~ respecti.vel~, of the recesses 3 ,as is shown in ~i~uXe 3'~n an enl~x.~ed scale, po~ the pur,~se o,~
vbtaining a paxticularl~ S~ll conStructional hei~ht~ a stepped poxtion ~7 is p~o~ided ~n .the ~ase plate ~6 of the ribbed plate in the e.~bod~ent ~ccoxd~n~ to.the ~i~ureS 4 and 5s whereby~ as a wh:o.le, a low .constructional height is obtained~
-., ~
2n~L~7~
whereby, in particular, the use of an inner stock rail bracina becomes possible by using extremely low sliding chairs By the stepped portion 17 there is at least compensated an optionally re~uired increase oE the thickness of the cover plate o~ the sliding chair for reliably receiving the sliding members 4, 5 as well as the cotter 20 for ~ixing purposes, On account of the direct arrangement of the sliding members 4, 5 within recesses 3 of the sliding chair and on ~ccount of securing in position the sliding members by inwardly extending wall portions and profiles, respectively, engaging over or, respectively, engaging behind the sliding members, there results, as a whole, a very low constructional height, so that, as already mentioned, a laterally inward ~5 elastic mounting of the stock rail becomes possible, noting that two different possibilities are shown in the Figures 1 to 3 and, respectively, in the Figures 4 and 5.
In the Figures 6 and 7 there is designated by 18 a sliding plate, noting that there are held in position within elongated recesses 3 sliding members 4 and 5 by means of inwardly extending lateral walls of ~he recesses. The sliding plate 18 is, in this case, provided with ribs 19, noting that also sliding plates without such stop members can be used in a similar manner.
In Figures 8 and 9 there is shown a modified embodiment of a sliding plate 18 which can be utilized in particular for frog constructions comprising movable constructional parts.
~o~
The frogs can be ~rogs comprising movable wing rails or Erogs compr;sing a movable frog tip, noting that the movable parts rest on the sliding members 4 and 5 with the use of a sliding cElair or without using a sliding chair.
The design of the side surfaces of the sliding members 4 and, respectively, 5 having a substantiallY trapezoidal cross section as well as the design of the inwardly extending side walls 7 of the recesses 3 is in all embodiments shown substantiaily analogous to the design shown in Figure 3.
For the purpose of removing the sliding members ~ and 5 from the recesses 3, there IS applied at the separating gap 10 a suitable tool and at first upwardly lifted by lever action the sliding member extending beyond the unoccupied position 6, which is then extracted, whereupon the second sliding member 5 can in a simple manner equally be removed from the recess.
Thus, there results the possibility to rapidly interchange the sliding members by means of extremely simple tools because forcibly introducing the sliding members can, for example, be effected by means of a hammer.
Particularly good sliding properties result by arranging two mutually parallel recesses within a ribbed plate or a sliding chair and, respectively, a sliding plate, noting that the longitudinal axis of the elongated recesses 3 extends, as a rule, in shifting direction of the shiftable switch component or crossing component, respectively.
The trapezoidal shape of the cross section of the sliding members shown in the Figures as well as the side walls of the 74~
recesses 3 extending in inward direction under a corresponding angle represents a very simple shape of the cxoss section which is particularly favourable for introducing and for extracting, respectively, the sliding members. In principle there can, however, also be provided other forms of the side walls of the recesses and thus for the side surfaces of the sliding members~which forms allow to reliably anchor the sliding members within the recesses by means of suitable profiles.
On account of the small height of the recesses 3 and on account o~ the direct insertion of the sliding members~ and 5, there can be provided such sliding members in all usual ribbed plates e~uin~ed with sliding chairs or in sliding plates or slidina sheets~iithout increasing in practice the total constructional height.
